Cooking description:
Fried cucumbers with meat are very simple to prepare. I want to warn the optimists who are fans of fast Chinese food: any pork requires good heat treatment. Otherwise, it is fraught with bad consequences. Assurances that you can fry meat for 3-4 minutes and it’s ready is not true. Perhaps it will become soft during this time, although it is also unlikely. But the fact that this is categorically small in terms of safety does not require proof. The rest is clear. You can take sesame oil, sunflower oil, olive oil. Any starch is fine too. Take hot peppers at will. In general, the dish is juicy and tasty!
